Abstract
The products of direct and indirect (potassium ferrocyanide as a media tor) electrochemical guaiacol oxidation at a platinum electrode in alk aline solutions were studied and compared with the products of chemica l guaiacol oxidation with potassium ferricyanide. The major oxidation products were shown to be vanillin, vanillic acid, acetoguaiacol, and oligomers produced by oxidative coupling. Possible reaction mechanisms were discussed.
